This a simple questions for any audiophiles well versed in digital equipment.

What does the term "digital ready" mean?  Are we speaking here of wider
frequency range equipment?  Are my eight year old speakers no longer good
enough if they are spec'd 30-18k (or whatever they are spec'd at)?  I have
a nice pair of NS-500 Yamaha speakers which produce great sound no matter
what type of music I care to listen to.  I do not own a CD player (write
to Jack Palance); I DO intend to buy one some time in the future.  However
I refuse to believe that this audio equipment I have that has seriously,
stood the test of time, is outmoded in light of this digital age we're in.

Don't get me wrong.  I've been fascinated by the clarity of some of the
CD players I've heard and am very impressed with many, especially the
CD-2 Yamaha.  But what is "digital ready" equipment?  Are many of the 
analog mastered recordings done today on CD "digital ready"?

P. S. Is anyone from Buena Park on this net that can answer my questions?
